@ScreenSlate We showed it on 35mm a couple of times, and then last time we requested it we were told that it's fading now

@ETKevinsMind Orpah too tbh. Not a huge Prizzi's Honor fan.

[Desmond Thorne @DesmondThorne]

@ETKevinsMind Agreeeeed! I kept thinking about her lol. They should have retired it after that.

We were graced with the presence of @BootsRiley last week for a Q&A on Wednesday and intro Friday opening!

Thank you Boots and @neonrated for coming through!

Very excited for this!

[Nitehawk Cinema @nitehawkcinema]

Our next ADVENTURES IN BLACK CINEMA is of a more recent vintage than usual: it’s RaMell Ross’ critically-lauded 2024 adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s NICKEL BOYS.

And it’s on 35mm w/ cinematographer Jomo Fray Q&A!

NICKEL BOYS is Tuesday 7/15 at Nitehawk Prospect Park

[Desmond Thorne @DesmondThorne]

CORRECT!

[Nitehawk Cinema @nitehawkcinema]

Our next RE-CONSIDER THIS! is a personal one for programmer @desmondthorne, who finds that J.J. Abram’s SUPER 8 is underrated, a bit disrespected, and overshadowed by the release of STRANGER THINGS five years later!

SUPER 8 is on 35mm Wednesday 7/9 at Nitehawk Prospect Park.

[Desmond Thorne @DesmondThorne]
